HS ELA Teacher Leader Unit Overview Feedback by Gregory M Bowman https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2 Please read over and offer comments to two colleagues working at a different grade level. en-us 2021-02-19 18:33:45 UTC 2025-11-06 11:34:12 UTC hello@padlet.com Unit V https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265854166 This is really rough. I left out vocabulary because I wanted to see what others were choosing. Also, I'd need to see the previous unit to know what vocabulary to review. ]]> 2021-03-03 20:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265854166 English IV Priority/Supporting Standards bowmangm https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265986355 2021-03-03 20:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265986355 English III Priority/Supporting Standards bowmangm https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265989169 2021-03-03 20:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265989169 English I Priority/Supporting Standards bowmangm https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265994053 2021-03-03 20:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265994053 English II Priority/Supporting Standards bowmangm https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265998082 2021-03-03 20:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1265998082 Unit V - Discovering Self greened31 https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1277201063 Unsure about assessments - do we use the SAVVAS assessments that are in the unit plans, for formative and summative? Also with the standards, are we to use the ones located with the scope and sequence or DPI highlighted?

Culturally Responsive Resources Added:

I added two texts about the local ghost story about the Jamestown Ghost Hitchhiker, Lydia.

I added an article about the movie Get Out that discusses how movie writer and director, Jordan Peele expresses that I’d Never Seen My Fears as an African-American Man Onscreen’ and how this movie does that. 

I also added the poem “The Haunted Oak” by Paul Laurence Dunbar, a story about the scary Mexican folktale of La Llorona, Michael Jackson's "Thriller." 

Notes:
I am unsure about where to put the main/anchor texts that are already in the unit.  I am also unsure about what assessments to include. I am not finished. I want to look at others so I can see how the rest of the outline is organized. ]]> 2021-03-07 19:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1279273330 https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1279364003 2021-03-07 20:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1279364003 I used Savvas, but also incorporated the performance tasks under the unite resources as well (there are usually two essays and maybe a speaking assessment. https://padlet.com/bowmangm/mmzjgjx4idm1rwr2/wish/1279366363
I used the DPI.
